MOBILE — Alabama stores are among the locations being targeted in a Black Friday strike by Walmart workers.

AL.com reported the planned strike includes 55 Walmart and Sam’s Club stores in Alabama. A website set up by organizers includes stores in Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery and others.

Only the Walmart in the Birmingham suburb of Pelham has a strike leader name and lists a time when the walk-out will begin. Stores in Gadsden, Attalla, Centre, Boaz, Guntersville and Fort Payne are listed as having events, but no time or other information is provided.

The protest is being planned by the Organization United for Respect at Wal-Mart, a subset of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

Walmart employees across the country have complained about the stores opening at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving day.

Federal labor officials Monday said they’re trying to decide whether to support the company’s request to intervene.
